Abstract: This essay is an evaluative case study reporting on the preparation, execution, and evaluation of a Global Health Hackathon as a teaching method piloted as part of the “Introduction to Global Health” undergraduate module in the Department of Social Science, Health and Medicine at King’s College London. I provide a critical evaluation of my practice by drawing on relevant academic literature concerned with the research-teaching nexus and inquiry-based learning, course material to describe the hackathon and its related components, and student evaluations to reflect on the overall module experience. I conclude with some final reflections and preliminary thoughts of what it would take to institutionalize research-based teaching and learning in my department in a more sustainable manner.
